Hey Helen,What a great, subtle/delicate drawing! I like the space around it also, framing the profile of the face and the hand... it seems that less is indeed more in this instance! :)Also, didn't manage to leave a comment on your last post, but the bottom watercolour study is awesome - the silhouette & tone of the profile and hair is exquisite. Don't know how you do it....;)L

Thanks a lot, Laurent! I thought it was sufficient with this drawing on the page, I agree with you. Sometimes less is more. What I regret is my bad handwriting, I'll have to work on that, he he. Regarding the watercolor, if you try it, you should use a creamy consistence of it without too much water (to obtain more pigment in the mix the best is to use watercolor in tubes)Soo long and thank you again for your words.

I'm sorry if my English contains errors, or if the translator here above do so in your chosen language.

My thoughts about drawing coincides with these statements :

"When a head, an apple, a tree or a piece of bread, beat and subjugate, the hand will follow and communicate through the line or spot, the visual emotion.

"Drawing from observation is immediate. It requires the feeling: intense sensation, vision, velocity and instant execution. It does not admit any subsequent amendments that we would be noticed inevitably... Whether it's an apple, a face or a tree it's always revelation of a truth that the subtle viewer will discern without hesitation."

"Always have a book in hand and note in four strokes the objects that strike you, if you do not have time to fully state it. But if you have the opportunity to make a more accurate sketch, study the model with love, consider it and express it under all its forms, so as it stays in your head, embed it there as your property."
